If you have had a root canal in the past but continue to experience pain or sensitivity, root canal retreatment may be the solution. At Euro Dental Studio, our endodontist and team provide skilled and compassionate root canal retreatment in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, to help save your tooth and restore your oral health.
Retreatment becomes necessary when the original procedure did not fully resolve the infection or complications have developed over time. Our experienced team is here to offer relief and guide you through a careful, personalized treatment process.
Why You Might Need Root Canal Retreatment
Root canals have a high success rate, but occasionally, a tooth may not heal properly or may become reinfected. Several factors can lead to this, including:
- Complicated root structure missed during the initial procedure
- New decay or damage affecting the treated tooth
- Loose or broken crowns exposing the canal
- Delayed placement of the permanent restoration
- Hidden infection that reemerges later
Our endodontist and team use advanced diagnostic tools and precise techniques to determine the cause of the problem and treat it effectively. Retreatment offers a second chance to save your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
What To Expect From Retreatment
Root canal retreatment in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, begins with a thorough examination and imaging to assess the tooth. Our endodontist will carefully reopen the tooth, remove the existing filling material and clean the root canals to eliminate any remaining infection.
Once the tooth is disinfected and reshaped, it is refilled and sealed. In most cases, a new crown will be placed to strengthen the tooth and restore function. The entire process is done with your comfort in mind, using gentle techniques and local anesthesia to ensure a stress-free experience.
Patients who undergo retreatment often experience relief from lingering discomfort and benefit from extended protection of their natural tooth structure. With proper care, a retreated tooth can continue to function well for many years. Our goal is to preserve your smile using the least invasive approach. If you have concerns about a previously treated tooth, our endodontist and team are here to help with supportive, skilled care.
